Do you like B-A-S-S ?

Well i do
and i need more bass sounds to use on 16 level
anyone have any suggestions?

I'm sure you've already heard this one, but just in case.

Set the needle on the record. Do not play the record. Instead, turn up the gain and tap the turntable until sufficient bass is heard. Record sound.

Success.

also, you could plug a 1/4" guitar cable into the record input and with the other end you touch the jack to make a buzzing noise and record that.


.. or you could get a synth

In b4 dubstep bass discussion.

@k_roc- What do you mean by tap the TT?
@mr_debauch- i could do that

you guys know of bass sounds that can be downloaded?

Fire up audacity.

Generate various tones at 55, 110, and 220 hz (a sine would be great for bass).

Sample into MPC.

In TRIM screen, turn loop on and set loop length to 800, 400, and 200 (check my math!) samples long, respectively. These samples now play an A note.

Say howdy to your MPC synthesizer.

Of course, will work better or worse depending on many things, but that's the idea.

how do you do this in audacity?

Audacity -> Generate -> Tones
;]

As in, open Audacity, select Generate, select 'Tones'.

o wow never knew that thankyou.

Tap your finger on it, literally. You'll get the loudest sounds from actually tapping the record itself. Also, if you're using a DJ mixer you might want to consider turning down all the mids and highs and upping the lows.

The resulting sound is a very very deep bass sound.

Did you get this from an old SV interview? I read this somewhere.

Basslines are something I'm still trying to become more comfortable with. Nevertheless here are some tips.

Assign a sample to a bad..a single bass sound from a record..put the lowpass on it. Copy that sample to another pad and put another low pass on it. I usually put it all the way to 0. Mess around w/ the resonance on the two pads...layer them. Put down your bassline and then merge them on the same track. Can create some decent sounds.

I don't really like doing the 16 levels as much though. I got a cheap synth and used a sine wave to play my basslines in the lower octaves...sample that into the MP..and then put a lowpass on the bassline to give it more substance.
